色花堂app

John Ney wears many hats in the 色花堂app College of Business - he is the Executive Director of the Walter Brown Center for Sales Excellence, an Assistant Marketing Professor and the Director of Professional Development. While he loves all of his positions within the college, he is especially passionate about professional development and the value it brings to students – everything from developing their personal brand and soft skills to helping them find jobs and internships.

“I see the value the professional development program has brought to students,” said Ney. “It helps them not only find internships and jobs, it also helps them become more confident in themselves.”

Recognizing the importance of this development for all students within the College, Ney intends to start an endowed lectureship through a planned gift, ensuring that whoever steps into his shoes one day has the financial support necessary to continue developing the professional development program.

"I've had the privilege of working closely with John for over a decade and have witnessed firsthand his unwavering commitment to supporting College of Business students in their career development,” said College of Business Director of Development Kristine McCarty. “His dedication has inspired countless students and helped them secure internships and jobs that set them on the path to achieving their dreams. John's generous gift to establish the College's first endowed lectureship is a powerful testament to his belief in the transformative impact of education. With this estate gift, John will continue to support and inspire generations of students and faculty for years to come."

Prior to ISU John served as the Senior Manager of Customer Operations and Marketing for the start-up cell phone company Syringa Wireless LLC, from 2007 – 2012. Syringa Wireless grew to approximately 15,000 customers and 22 retail stores during that time, in part made possible by their goal of always providing world-class customer service. John also has extensive experience in marketing and management, having been Vice President of Customer Operations at Project Mutual telephone (PMT) in Rupert, Burley and Twin Falls, Idaho. Prior to that, he worked for GTE/Verizon for eight years in Everett WA, Dallas TX, and St. Louis MO, where he held progressive positions of responsibility and finished with Verizon as the Manager of Customer Quality in the Customer Contact Division. John also does private consulting work in the areas of marketing, management and customer service.

“Even though I hope to have many years remaining, I’ve always believed that legacy isn’t about age - it’s about impact,” said Ney. “Including the College of Business in my estate plans is my way of giving back to a place that I believe in and supporting future generations of students. It’s a small step now that I hope will have a lasting effect long after I’m gone.”
